Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of boiler detection equipment, in particular to an auxiliary device for radiographic inspection of the closely arranged tubes of a once-through boiler. Background Art
[0002] A once-through boiler is a device that uses water as the working medium and conducts energy conversion through pipelines and steam generators, and is widely used in industries such as electric power, chemical engineering, and metallurgy. The design of this type of boiler has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, small volume, and strong adaptability. However, the structure of its closely arranged tubes is complex, making it face many challenges in the safety detection of pipelines during operation. In the operation and maintenance of boilers, boiler non-destructive testing technology is particularly important. Non-destructive testing can accurately evaluate the integrity and health status of boiler components without damaging the boiler structure. For once-through boilers, the commonly used non-destructive testing method is to use an X-ray flaw detector for flaw detection operations. X-ray flaw detector detection has become an effective detection means because it can clearly show internal defects such as cracks and pores. In the prior art, a combination of a hanging support rod and a main support rod of a bracket is used to detect the closely arranged tubes. Specifically, a hook is provided at one end of the hanging support rod, and the other end of the hanging support rod is fixedly connected to the main support rod of the bracket. The hanging support rod and the main support rod of the bracket with appropriate sizes are made according to the size of the closely arranged tubes. The hook is hung on the fin between the closely arranged tubes, and the X-ray flaw detector is arranged on the main support rod of the bracket, thereby completing the flaw detection operation of the closely arranged tubes.
[0003] The patent with the publication number CN218208548U discloses a support for X-ray flaw detection of boiler welds, which relates to the technical field of boiler installation and maintenance, and includes: a support rod; two support rods are provided in total; a limit bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end surface of each of the two support rods; both limit bottom plates are circular plate-shaped structures; a rotating block is fixedly connected to the top end surface of each of the two support rods; after the detection support is used, the staff can move the X-ray flaw detector to the first platform plate, reverse-rotate the fixing screw to screw the fixing screw out of the fixing threaded hole, retract the connecting platform plate, and pull the mounting frame to fold the mounting frame. During the folding process of the mounting frame, the stretching support frame will also be squeezed and folded. The folded detection support greatly reduces the occupied area, solving the problem that the detection support will occupy a large area when it continues to be hung on the scaffolding or the fin between the closely arranged tubes of the boiler after use, which affects the work of the staff.
[0004] In the specific use process of the above-mentioned prior art, when adjusting the hook, it is necessary to cooperate with the locking insert block and the locking jack. In this way, there is a problem that the rotation angle of the hook is fixed each time and cannot be adjusted arbitrarily, which has certain limitations. Similarly, for the height adjustment of the support rod and the mounting bracket, it is necessary to cooperate with the detent ball and the limit through hole, which also causes the height cannot be adjusted arbitrarily and there is inconvenience in use. In view of this, we propose an auxiliary device for radiographic inspection of the closely spaced tubes of a cross-flow boiler. Content of the Utility Model

A first fastening bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the front side of the rectangular lifting column 11 and near the top. The threaded end of the first fastening bolt 15 abuts against the outer wall of the hook 12. The relative positions of the hook 12 and the rectangular lifting column 11 are fixed by the first fastening bolt 15, so as to facilitate the staff to adjust the hanging angle of the hook 12.
[0033] On the front sides of both rectangular fixing sleeves 10, there are detachably arranged L-shaped support plates 3 for carrying the platform plate 4.

The threaded end of the second fastening bolt 41 abuts against the bottom of the horizontal plate of the L-shaped support plate 3 for fastening the frame-shaped connection block 40 on the horizontal plate of the L-shaped support plate 3, preventing the platform plate 4 from moving and also facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the platform plate 4 and the L-shaped support plate 3.
[0041] When the cross-flow boiler finned tube ray detection flaw detection auxiliary device of this embodiment is in use, first, symmetrically arrange two suspension assemblies 1 on the finned tubes of the boiler. Rotate the lead screw 13 using the knob 14 to adjust the height of the rectangular lifting column 11 to meet the specific height requirements of the finned tubes. Rotate the hook 12 to an appropriate angle so that it can be firmly hooked on the fins between the finned tubes. Adjust the position of the first fastening bolt 15 so that its threaded end abuts against the outer wall of the hook 12 to fix the position of the hook 12 and ensure the positioning and stability of the device. On the front side of the two suspension assemblies 1, install a detachable L-shaped support plate 3. Insert the vertical plate of the L-shaped support plate 3 into the inner side of the U-shaped positioning block 16 for positioning and fixing the L-shaped support plate 3. The bottom of the reinforcing inclined plate 30 abuts against the top of the support block 17 to provide bottom support for the L-shaped support plate 3 and increase its stability and load-bearing capacity. Then fix the platform plate 4 on the L-shaped support plate 3 and ensure the stability of the platform plate 4 through the frame-shaped connection block 40 and the second fastening bolt 41 to provide a loading platform for the detection equipment. During the detection process, the position of the platform plate 4 can be adjusted as needed to ensure the stability of the detection equipment. After ensuring that the entire device is firmly connected, place detection equipment such as an X-ray flaw detector on the platform plate 4, adjust the angle and position of the equipment to ensure that the internal defects of the boiler finned tubes can be accurately detected. Through the above steps, this device can effectively assist the operator in performing ray detection flaw detection operations on the boiler finned tubes, improving the accuracy and safety of the detection. The flexibility and stability of the entire device design ensure the convenience and reliability of the equipment during installation and use.
